Hi Kelley~Hmmm ~ I'm pretty sure it isn't rabbits. I have never seen any here except for the pet ones we used to have. They don't survive here because of predation by the coyotes. (I have to really watch my cats and chickens!)It could be mice or rats, though, since it is so close to the chicken house and the compost bin. I have seen a couple of 'runs' under the soil. Hope it's not rats! Hubby trapped 40 one summer! He has other things to do this season! :~}Thanks for visiting!

What a great message: The 3 Rs. Your garden looks great and I too am a big advocate of grass clippings as mulch. If it dries out enough today I'm on the mower to collect some of my favorite free weed suppressor. Love the place and your blog. Cheers, Tom

We have cabbage worms...little white butterflies hover all over the broccoli laying their eggs. They are hard to beat. I've tried diluted Murphy's oil soap with some success, and diatomaceous earth(DE). Those parasitic wasps like to eat those worms, I think. Our onions and carrots are blooming, and it seems to be attracting the "good" bugs. I catch the white nuisance butterflies and feed them to the turtle. :)

I threw in the towel with kitchen remedies for slug and snail control, and now use Sluggo with great success.
